Transmission freeplay

I don't know how to explain this but my bike has a kind of transmission freeplay... for example standing still with the engine off, engaging any gear the bike still could move about 20cm forwards and backwards.

Is this normal?

I couldn't get a nice and steady idle and also a smooth <3K rpm transition until I grinded the jet holder. Replacing the gasket would have probably done it too... but didn't find it separately. Think worth checking...

UK registration

It seems my stay is extending so I need to register my exup here in UK... should I replace the headlights and the clocks to get the MOT? Or anything else in particular that I should consider before? It's a '95 3LE model, first registration in Germany.

750/1000 carb jets

I'm trying to revive an old project, 3D ignition charts with "TCIP4" ignitor module from Ignitech and for this I needed a TPS sensor. I've got an YZF750 carb set that comes with TPS fitted on carb #4 and was thinking to transfer all jets from my spare FZR1000 carb set as they were suppose ...

No silly, it's what I suspected in the first place as well but turned out the pads were right. It's just the blue/gold calipers and discs size/position on this particular model. Said to let people know, perhaps it should be mentioned in the forum modification tutorial as well?...

You may be right... I wish I knew it before the "bobbins" (that's how are called?) reached the pads back metal plates. Kind of funny feeling...

Blue/Gold spot calipers upgrade >> BRAKE PADS MOD

After replacing the front brake calipers with an R1'03 gold spot set I've noticed the brake pads (EBC HH) are too wide and will actually touch the discs rivets (or how are called that things that makes the discs floating). To complete the upgrade the brake pads will have to be modified too, removing...

exup servo voltage

If anybody interested, I've finally (!!!) managed to measure the exup servo feedback voltages, it may be needed if using an aftermarket ignitor like TCIP4. https://photos.google.com/search/_tra_/photo/AF1QipN0Ghu9EXgsW6bCtbF2JgITXOjzI4eeLABPMMMg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b250/stigsdump/EXUP/...

thermostat diameter

Engine running cold... ish, like 70 C, today took out the thermostat, boiled in the water and still don't know what's happening. The bloody thing seems to be working alright, start opening around 82 C... However, want to try a new one but forgot to note down the diameter, is it 52... or 54mm? Cheers!

Thanks Stig, I haven't seen your answer. I've ordered a pack of 5 from "simply beargins", or something like that. I had to order the steering damper seals anyway so it came all in one pack. Now let see if it's the right size...
